On the hospital's 15th floor, babies often come into the world to be moved almost instantly through a window in the delivery room wall to the lifesaving interventions of the neonatal intensive care nursery. Here, it is common practice to have to weigh one baby's life against another's or the life of a mother against her child's. And even to decide that an infant's life will be so filled with illness, disability and pain that it isn't worth saving at all. For the past 40 years, units like this have been the front line in the nation's battle against infant mortality."
